James Simpson, on this site posted his list of the greatest Hard Rock/Heavy Metal songs of the 70s. The ones that have <== are ones I could hum a bit of. I've heard of most of these songs but may not recognize them by name. There are 41 I could hum. "Please Don't Judas Me" or "Razzamatazz" (both by Nazareth) should have been listed as well! At least "Beth" is excluded!
